As battery prices drop it will get even better. marcosdumay 1 day ago It's not 7.3% return rate. There's some depreciation you need to add there. WheatMillington 1 day ago If you're going to depreciate the battery then your return will be substantially greater than 7.3%. You can't use BOTH the capex AND the depreciation as your denominator, choose one.
